I’d like to hear of some good host suggestions to build a few lights. I recently ordered a Convoy S2+ in copper to build a triple. Any other good suggestions for a good host I can consider for a fun mod? Ti, bronze, or brass would be cool and 14500 options. Thanks for any suggestions! Just looking for lights to experiment and have fun with.
The Convoy T6 is 14500 and the host is available in Brass.
T6:
I like how copper, bronze, and titanium look.
I’ve never been a fan of brass.
Also, I prefer aluminum because it’s practical cost-wise, and it handles heat well.
Aluminum made to look like some more expensive metals would work for me.
Good luck in your search! ![]()
I’m might try this one
Any other suggestions. Non convoy…
Are aluminum hosts welcome?
Absolutely!
I’ve been checking out DongDongHai(DDH) hosts lately.
If you search the forum for DDH-D2G or D2G you’ll find a couple of posts.
The DDH-D2G is sort of a Convoy M21A with a 22mm driver and USB-C charging built-in to the Host.
I also really like the look of the DDH-M2C:
Yea I like those a lot. I could go without the usb option. I’ll check them out. Website for them?
That’s the main issue.
They are listed on TaoBao and they only ship inside China, so you need to use a forwarder.
I use SuperBuy.com.
Let’s see if this link works:

Link works. Can’t read a thing tho ![]()
In Chrome I translate it to English.
And once logged in I set it to English and USD.
FYI: the app is easier to use than the mobile website.
There aren’t many manufacturers that sell hosts.
On the affordable side, it’s esentially just Convoy that i know of.
Even for modding, Sofirn and Wurkkos are not usable because too many of their lights are glued shut (Sofirn basically all, Wurkkos like 70% of them).
Maybe one of the cheap AliExpress lights that I have here would be interesting for you?
I still really like the first one, the F82. Just put in a good cell and some good LEDs (519A or 219) and you have a fantastic little light.
I just figured out the KaiDomain sells a bunch of DDH Hosts(under different model names):
And Others
Thank you for those! I got something to work with now.
What finish you like? I’m gonna pick one up. I like the silver.
They both look nice but I like the contrast of the Black and Stainless.
It definitely needs a Foy bezel.
